Chapter 601 That Was a Pig
They held a meeting overnight, finalizing the new name for the base and the training plan. Chen Zhiwei and other senior executives did not sleep.
After announcing the agreed-upon arrangements, they held an emergency meeting.
There are two main points to this meeting.
First, what attitude should they have towards the adult's superpowered team? As for the second point, is Su Yuanjing, that pig, to eat or not to eat?
After being promoted to base commander, Chen Zhiwei raised the issue and then addressed the management team on both sides of the conference table: "Let's all share our thoughts, starting with the first question."
The meeting room was quiet for a while, and Chen Zhiwei even frowned before someone finally spoke.
"Is that even a question? Of course, we need to curry favor with this big shot! The problem is, how do we do that?"
"In the apocalypse, the most important thing is supplies. Shall we send some supplies?"
"Don't joke around. Do you think someone with that kind of ability needs supplies? She just casually mentions 10,000 tons of supplies per person. I bet she has more supplies than our entire base."
"That's true, but we can't refuse to deliver it just because she has it. It's a matter of attitude."
“I have a different opinion. I think we should stop trying to please her. We can’t afford to offend this big shot. If we accidentally offend her in the process, the entire base will be wiped out.”
"But we can't just do nothing because of this, can we?"
Finally, Liu Wei, who had just taken the position of deputy manager, summarized: "Manager Chen, let me summarize everyone's opinions. The general attitude towards this big shot is that it's best not to interfere. As for trying to curry favor, he probably won't care. The more you do, the more mistakes you'll make, so it's better not to do anything. Of course, we still need to express our stance to the big shot that if he needs anything, the base will do its best to help."
"That makes sense."
Chen Zhiwei nodded upon hearing this: "Then let's do as the deputy manager says. As for expressing our opinion..."
Looking down, everyone looked like they wouldn't lower their heads when the teacher called roll in school and would dare to look directly at each other.
Chen Zhiwei: "..."
He felt the same way when Su Yuanjing was in charge, but now that he's in Su Yuanjing's position, he realizes how unpleasant that feeling is.
Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.
He looked at Liu Wei, who had taken his seat: "Since Deputy Manager Liu has already summarized it, then let's leave this matter to Deputy Manager Liu. Deputy Manager Liu, is that alright?"
Liu Wei: "..."
Can he say no?
Seeing Liu Wei nod, Chen Zhiwei was very satisfied: "Then let's move on to the second question, and everyone can give their opinions."
The meeting room fell silent once more after those words were spoken.
Chen Zhiwei said speechlessly, "What's so hard about saying this? We're all on the same side, just say it directly."
"cough."
Liu Wei coughed, then said, "Well, that's Manager Su after all, so... let's not eat it?"
Upon hearing this, someone immediately retorted: "What do you mean by 'Management Su'? He's just a pig, a big fat pig weighing over a thousand pounds."
"That's right, that's right, it's a pig, only its soul is Manager Su. Now that Manager Su is dead, it's just its soul that's dead, its body can't be changed, it's still a pig."
"In a post-apocalyptic world where supplies are scarce, what kind-hearted person would give up thousands of pounds of pork?"
Chen Zhiwei glanced at those who hadn't spoken, clearly agreeing that they should eat the pig. He pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's eat it. There's a saying that's true: it is indeed a pig's body with a human soul. If anyone can't overcome this psychological barrier, they don't have to eat it."
Liu Wei, the only one who said he wouldn't eat, said: "...Well, I'll still eat it."
Humans have a herd mentality.
He initially found eating pork quite unpleasant, but seeing everyone else eating it, he suddenly felt much better.
After all, he really wanted to eat pork, but he just felt a little awkward about it.
Seeing everyone else eating while he couldn't get any, Liu Wei was naturally unhappy.
“Then let’s eat. After the management finishes distributing, the rest can be given to the ability users,” Chen Zhiwei said directly.
"OK."
"Alright, let's adjourn the meeting then. Deputy Manager Liu, remember to go and express your opinion to the adults later."
Liu Wei nodded: "Okay."
...
It was a little after 10 a.m.
Lin Qian was still talking with Ling Ran and the others when Liu Wei arrived with his men, carrying some fruit.
Su Yimo disliked the people at this base, so when she saw Liu Wei, her attitude was also very bad: "Who are you?"
"Hello, miss, I'm Liu Wei, the deputy manager of the base. I'm here to pay you a visit, sir."
As he spoke, he handed the fruit he was carrying to Su Yimo.
Su Yimo didn't take it, but pointed to the shoe cabinet next to her: "Put it here."
Liu Wei placed several bags of fruit on the shoe cabinet, then walked up to Ling Ran and introduced himself again before saying, "Sir, I'm here today for no particular reason. I just wanted to tell you that Chen Zhiwei is now in charge of the base, and the base has been renamed the 'Human Beings Base.' From now on, if you need any errands while you're at the base, please feel free to ask. We'll be ready at any time."
"Yes, is there anything else?"
"That's all." Liu Wei smiled. "Then I won't disturb you any longer, sir. I'll take my leave now."
Su Yimo exclaimed from the side, "Wait a minute, Deputy Manager Liu, I'd like to ask, how did you deal with that pig?"
"...After a meeting and discussion, everyone decided to eat it."
"oh."
Seeing Liu Wei's very unnatural expression, Su Yimo waved her hand and said, "Actually, it's fine to eat it. Theoretically speaking, it's just a pig."
"Yes, thank you for letting me know."
After Liu Wei and his men left, Su Yimo said, "Just as I expected, they won't let this pig go."
“Sister Emo, it’s normal for them not to let it go. Even if they don’t eat it themselves, they can share it with the residents.”
"Indeed, it's a waste to throw it away. Actually, if you don't know the truth, this pig is still quite delicious."
Lin Qian stayed with Ling Ran for more than an hour before preparing to go back for lunch. Before leaving, Su Yimo asked her to take the fruit that Liu Wei had brought back with her.
"Sister Emo, this fruit is still very fresh. Let's save it for the adults."
"Adults don't care."
"...Alright then, thank you, sir."
Lin Qian left carrying several bags of fresh fruit.
The adults might dislike it, but she doesn't.
Come to think of it, the reason she has so much free time now is because the adults gave them a lot of supplies before, enough to feed them for three months if they don't take on any missions.
When I got home, Yan Haibin was cooking.
Seeing Lin Qian carrying things, Duan Kun asked curiously, "Weren't you going to see the adults? Why are you bringing things back?"
"Yes, the new deputy manager of the base brought fruit to see the adults, and Sister Emo gave it to me when I left."
"So that's how it is."
Duan Kun wasn't too surprised.
The fruit that the adults eat every day is incredibly fresh.
This base has offended the adults, so naturally the adults don't like the fruit they brought.
"Hehe, we're lucky."
Like Lin Qian, Duan Kun didn't mind either: "Let me see what kind of fruit we have."
